I love the look and love how versatile it can be whether for a child or adult. It looks relatively easy to do, some can be very intricate and detailed, but luckily I like the simple easy looking ones :) And they are also quite cheap to do too which i love. Embroidery hoops can cost as low as $2 from spotlight and I was even thinking of checking out the op shops and second hand stores for more vintage looking ones.
And this is definitely a great project to use up all your scraps. Fabric, ribbon, thread, lace.. anything goes!!
I have lots of inspiration pics to share and lots of ideas in my head that I want to do. I cant wait to start one!!
I love the bright colours of the bunting. Easy to stitch and only need tiny little scraps of fabric. Ive been thinking of cutting up a new sheet I got for Miss Jaime, i only use the fitted sheet, so with the spare one I'm thinking of making her some real bunting for her room and maybe a matching throw pillow so I'm definitely a bit obsessed with bunting lately too :)
I love the lace doily in this one and the one in the pic above. I'm def going to have to ask my nan if she has any I can use :)
These bigger ones look great on the wall and look like they are being used as notice boards or inspiration boards which I love! Something different to the old cork board.
Using maps as decoration around them home is another new trend I'm loving. I would def pick a meaningful place to use in the hoop like where we honeymooned or got married.. awww cute :)
The next 3 pics are just some layouts that I think look great. Love the colours in this one and if the fabric stands out enough, that's all you need.
Above the bed head is a great space to put them.. I actually found another great DIY project today that Ive fallen in love with so am really excited about doing that once we have moved house and will explain everything about it in another blog post :) Its good people that's all i will tell you tehehe
This last one i love because its a great way to use up vertical otherwise wasted space. Love the layout.
I'm really excited about starting some and have lots of ideas in my head. If this little bubba turns out to be a little lady i would love to make a few to have above her cot. Her name stitched with birth date and a few colourful pretty things too, like um bunting!! I will probably do a bunting one in its very own hoop though, I love it that much!
Oh and also another idea I want to do is some Christmas ones! Just to get out at Christmas time, I thought it would be a different way to decorate the house for my favourite time of year :)
Well its block o'clock time ladies and gentlemen!! I am outta here.. Will def post once I have started my hoop art to show you what I'm up to.
